I have 2 balls of sock yarn that I just don't want to use for socks. I thought I could make a hat for each of my sons instead, using the sock yarn. Anyone know of a basic hat pattern using fingering weight yarn?

You could find a pattern and then just adjust for gauge. You know, multiply the number of inches around in the pattern and then cast on however many stitches it would take in the fingering yarn to get that many inches.

Thanks! I'm winging it. My first time trying a hat from the top down. Wish me luck!!
